5 Ways the WWE Can Improve Its Midcard Status

The WWE has absolutely no depth to its midcard roster as of right now and needs to improve tremendously before WrestleMania 29.

With just under a month remaining before the “Grandaddy of ‘Em All,” the WWE has a chance to make adjustments to its roster.

The midcard spots should be the deepest part of the roster, but it currently is the weakest. It’s a sad thing to realize that wrestlers like The Rock, Chris Jericho and John Cena were once featured as a midcard Superstars.

Some of the wrestlers, like Antonio Cesaro and Wade Barrett, are embarrassed on a consistent basis. I just want Mike Ditka to say, “Stop it!”

The following are ways the WWE can improve the status of its midcard and its product as a whole.

More Matches, Please

The WWE has six hours of television during the work week between Monday Night Raw, Main Event and Friday Night SmackDown.

So why do we see some of the same Superstars repeatedly? I’ve grown sick of Sheamus’ act.

Why not give Superstars a chance to build their reputation. Put them on Main Event if they’re not going to appear on Raw or SmackDown, and don’t put bigger draws on Main Event. Give Superstars equal exposure to fans so there isn’t a need to overexpose any of them.

With added exposure, some of these unknown Superstars will receive momentum. There will be a refreshing change of pace to the WWE’s midcard status.

The WWE could also cut some of the promos and pointless segments it has had on past episodes of Raw, like Monday’s Highlight Reel and movie trailers.

Instead of wasting 10 minutes of everyone’s life, have a match instead.

The WWE would be giving the fans in attendance more action, exposing new talent to all viewers and adding to the depth of the roster. It’s a win-win-win for the company.

Move a Superstar Down the Card

The WWE may be doing this with Chris Jericho challenging for the Intercontinental title, but the main event is pretty stacked right now.

Undertaker, CM Punk, The Rock, John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Triple H, Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger are all currently in main events.

It would be a perfect scenario for Swagger to come out with the United States title to go along with his “Real American” gimmick. Moving him down to have a lengthy, legitimate run with the belt would bring legitimacy and depth to the middle of the card.

With Chris Jericho and Swagger as the midcard champions, validity and meaning would be restored to these titles.
